Summer is looking more savage by the second with the launch of the Warlords of Draenor beta--but don't take our word for it, experience it first-hand with our beta key giveaway!

The fine folks at Blizzard Entertainment have graciously given us tons of Warlords of Draenor beta keys to give away and we want you to join in on the fun.

We're picking this round of beta key winners on August 25th!

We're trying out a new type of giveaway as well! Each week, enter to win a Warlords of Draenor beta key by completing in-game achievements, which we'll track here on Wowhead. We'll keep things interesting by picking new achievements each week.

Wowhead Beta Key Giveaway

If you watched Episode 3 of Wowhead Weekly, you'll already be aware of the problems we're having with our current giveaway. Thanks to a Blizzard issue, as confirmed by Zarhym, users from certain servers can't verify their characters to enter our contests. Of course, we are really working hard with Blizzard to try to get this resolved, but we didn't want to put out a new contest, knowing that the issue wasn't fixed.

Winners from the giveaway that ended today will be emailed tonight.

So instead, we're going to give away keys this week through various different means. Perculia and Olivia have a Twitter giveaway going on right now, which they will draw on Thursday, and we're going to devise several other smaller Beta Key contests to get keys out to you until Blizzard repairs the issue affecting the main giveaway. Watch this space!

Black Market Auction House Updates

On Sunday, the Swift Razzashi Raptor was seen, which implies the Swift Zulian Tiger may also be for sale. These mounts are currently unobtainable and dropped from the pre-Cataclysm version of Zul'Gurub.

And finally to recap, early Saturday morning, we found Grimoire of the Four Winds and Tabard of the Arcane. The UDE tabards have been progressively getting more expensive as the UDE point program has closed and no more tabard codes are being generated.

Reward Systems Designer Russ Petersen was also distressed nobody pointed out the bowtie-wearing ogres outside the BMAH, so we've added a picture of them above.
